No matter what I replied, I suspect it would have confirmed your prejudices.

It's a very good habit to make your Proxmox hosts PXE-bootable to avoid this kind of situation. We're using this approach with Talos as Kubernetes host and it works very well.

Quel dommage.

> Your comment is dripping with racism.

Your paranoia is typical of Quebec. You need professional help, Mon ami.

> Did you know there are tensions in Switzerland because there is a will to stop kids from learning French while they attend primary school?

I lived for a while in Zurich as well, and it was well known that kids are exiting high school being unable to speak the second language they supposedly studied.

> Do you know where Quebec is located?

Yeah, I'm in Montreal right now and have been living there for quite a while.

Oui, c'est bien connu que vous Québécois préférez la stratégie de l'autruche.

Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, come easily to my mind. Switzerland is a very interesting counter-example because although the French-speaking cantons (Romandie) have French as the "prevalent language", meaning that public services are almost exclusively in French, in practice most people speak German too because they're pragmatic about language: the German kantons are the center of economic activity and not speaking German is a huge disadvantage. Quebec, par contre, is full of people that wistfully (I had intended to write "wishfully" but the auto complete was fantastic this time) think they can manage with speaking only French and ignore the rest of the world.

We had managers and even non-engineers check-in documentation at Google: each page had an "Edit me" button that spawned an editor in a new tab with a CL(PR) ready. It worked very well.

Garden Cities are the epitome of NIMBYism: once they're built nothing else is allowed to be built there except as 1:1 replacement.

Integrators integrate very well at the level that they're operating, i.e. the single server. Rack-level integrated systems are a whole different thing, very specialised and unrelated to the old thing.

He has he right, as I do, as you do, the same right as any other citizen.

> You seem to be focusing strictly on performance,

Just like the vast majority of buyers do. SPARC was abandoned by customers due to poor performance.

> but there were other factors: e.g., remote management is still a bit of a mess with x86

That's a property of the systems integrator, not the ISA. Dell's iDRAC works quite well.

> You can't deny that Sun hardware was top tier and always ahead of its time (until Oracle bought them).

From Brian Cantrill's original HN comment in 2011(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2287033): "I never hesitated to tell anyone that was listening that our x86 boxes were starting to smoke the hell out of UltraSPARC". SPARC stopped being ahead of its time way before being bought by Oracle.

> Modernism is the act of using cheaper resources and more standardized/cheaper methods of production.

That's how they sold it, but it's not true. By the end of the 19th century, all the building ornamentation that you can still see in European capitals, had been stadardized and was mass-produced, while the construction techniques using brick and mortar had been further refined, yielding building designs that were cheap to construct and easy to maintain.

Modernist buildings were, at the same time, more expensive to build and less durable because of the reinforced concrete which has a much shorter lifespan than stone or brick plus mortar. The only advantage they had was that of increased height, but that was only an issue due to the restrictive zoning in Anglo countries. Without NIMBYism that pushed towards sky-scrapers, NYC could well have ended up like Paris: replacing 1-3 stories buildings with 8-10 stories, but allowing mixed commercial/residential space everywhere.

Given that models have been trained on tons of academic papers as well as internal corporate documentation, it's no surprise their output sounds a lot like an unholy fusion of both styles.

Firefox 155.0.1 Linux/x86_64 with uBlock Origin enabled. https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js is blocked by uBlock, while https://hcker.news/api/reply-notifications/config and https://hcker.news/api/comments/49662990?include_user_stats=... return 403.

Perhaps it's Cloudflare that's doing the blocking.

It looks nice but I can't load any comments, and I believe it's because I have Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on to the strictest level.

An overspill of AI slop.

> You can both be an asshole and be right.

Only petty people can hold that view.

Are you one of the developers ? If so, you need to add a specific page explaining in detail the guarantees that this gives.

For example: point 08 says "Assign different tables or workloads to different shard groups" and point 02 says "Split hot shards as workloads grow". How do those interact ? Can a single table be split across multiple shards ? If so don't you need 2pc to enforce primary key constraints ?

The intro pages just read as AI slop.

Evil has many forms.

I see no mention of foreign keys, or any other constraints, across shards. If, as I suspect, they're not implemented, it would still be useful but at the level of Spanner 10 years ago.

> Different people have different feelings.

Different people have different feelings about what we know call "the Holocaust". They're not equally worthy.

> Who cares if the site is LLM generated?

Good people do.

I would have preferred the old ways if that means upholding the rule of law. American MBAs are pure evil and toxic for a society's social fabric, and they should be kept away as much as possible, even if that means putting up with some guild-like behaviour.

I'm saying the European way is better.

It's not "on a whim", it's clearly and publicly documented. That's not censorship.

It actually, clearly, is.

This isn't arbitrary and isn't censorship, you moron.

That's entirely fine.

Compare a professional trader's UI to something consumer-grade like Robinhood, or analytics UIs designed for marketers (exposing only a few cute graphs with a handful of predefined parameters) to the dashboards used in physics labs, or simple graphics programs vs. Blenders.

Maximum efficiency for experts requires removing information that would be distracting and redundant for them, but essential for novices to understand the working model of the program, so you're pretty much wrong.
